RAWANG: Perodua’s third generation Myvi is getting an upgrade as it will come with upgraded technology, enhanced intelligent safety features, improved fuel economy, sporty new looks and a new colour.

The new Myvi variants include the 1.5 litre AV (Advance Variant), 1.5 litre H variant, a 1.5 litre X variant as well as two 1.3 litre G variants.

All variants only comes in automatic transmission as Perodua has discontinued the manual transmission from its line-up.

“We have also increased the fuel efficiency of the new Myvi as it can now go up to 22.2km per litre (tested on the 1.3L variant) from 21.1km per litre previously,” said Perodua president and chief executive officer Datuk Zainal Abidin Ahmad.

The AV, H and X variants as well as one of the G variants will have the latest Perodua Smart Drive Assist (PSDA) system, which was designed with the safety of the driver and pedestrian in mind.

A new colour, Cranberry Red, is only available for the AV variant.

Other colours include Ivory White, Glittering Silver, Lava Red (not available for the AV), Granite Grey, and Electric Blue.

The price range for the new Myvi is from RM45,700 to RM58,800 (price range is for Peninsular Malaysia and without insurance).

“These changes represent our efforts to meet our customers’ growing expectations while at the same time offer greater value by introducing the next standard for Malaysia’s most accepted model, the Perodua Myvi,” said Zainal.
